1868. Early Women Education. Autograph Letter Signed on verso of a Handbill regarding Ragged Schools April 13 1868. Rev. H. Newton-Vicar of St. michael's Mission Schools Lant Street writes to a donor about the work of the Ragged schools. Verso is a broadside for "The Lant Street Ragged Schools for Boys and Girls Borough Southwark." Reading in part "These Ragged Schools are placed in the midst of the poorest populationin Southwark in are the largest with about 850 attendances daily and the most important in South London." Attendance shows girls far outnumbered boys in the school "Boys in the Lower School Room.167 Girls in the Upper School Room.243.Afternoon Boys.162 Girls.233. The attendants at the Evening School in which more grown persons of both sexes are taught to read and write number about.65." He has made notes in his hand on the broadside portion in part "Ragged Schools male & female." At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. This rare handbook is considerably more interesting for the first-hand manuscript content regarding the coeducational activities of the school. unknown
